Culleton's story of repeated triumph over adversity will inspire you to overcome the negatives in your life. Rick Culleton is hardly the kind of person you'd expect to fly an airplane.

Nor have anxiety and ADHD and people labeling him a lost cause stopped him from becoming highly successful as an entrepreneur.

Finally, with encouragement from a friend, he turned his life around and built an Inc. 5000 company selling discount electronics.
